The invention relates to healds for looms, and its object is to improve the mode of securing the leashes at top and bottom, so that no knotting or tying or sewing is necessary.

The invention consists in a heald composed of leashes made in a continuous length, secured and spaced at each end by means of two tie bands of fabric, tissue or elastic material strongly cemented together and holding the heald leashes between them. The heald leashes are formed as described in English Patent No. 2,727 of 1881, being constructed of details on a large scale showing the manner of securing the leashes.

The heald is made up by doubling the continuously formed leash at the points b2 and securing one leg of the loops thus formed between suitable tie bands C, each composed of a strip of flexible material, preferably stout Woven tape. These strips are firmly secured to the leashes and to each other by means of strong cement c. Both legs of the loop b may pass between the tie bands if desired, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. The distance between the tie bands may be maintained by means similar to those adopted in existing healds, and they may be connected with the shafts in the customarymanner.

Having thus described our invention, what y In a heald, the combination with leashes made in a continuous length and doubled into loops at each end of a leash, of a tie band composed of two separate strips of flexible material held together by cement and inclosing one leg of each of said loops between them, substantially as described.
